Increasingly, yes - probably with age, time baffles me.

I've been here a week now and it both feels like less and more time than that. Almost any quantity of time other than "a week".

a tantalisingly threatening spark

A few notes on my pad at this point. Despite a weeks training I still can't grasp the utterly counterintuitive nature of the light switches. Wherever there are two together they are wired up the wrong way round. After a week in the place for that to be the most major gripe is fairly promising. Yes it's in a noisy area of town but that doesn't bother me too much and there is also a tantalisingly threatening spark when I plug the laptop in to charge but what's life without a little frisson?

Tonight I checked out the local sports bar (Champs bar on Dohány Street). It served its purpose and the bowl of soup I had was decent enough. The rest of the menu seemed fairly uninspiring though so I suspect it'll purely be somewhere to catch a game when the urge takes me.
